[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746162, member: 18958"] That was my mother's size. By what you've written, Elsi, I was prompted to turn to the calculator to try to correlate my mother's size, to her mother's, to my own. We are different in height, but not so much in frame, although mine, I think, is a little smaller. My mom was 5'. My grandmother, 4'8. I am 5'6. But what I find remarkable is that I think that my weight (about 149) seems pretty much the same proportionally to theirs, in terms of pounds per inch. Little by little I am coming to accept where I am. I am the weight (2 pounds more) I was 30 years ago. I have been unable to sustain a weight any less than this over time, without a lot of exercise. This is a lot of data points, that lead me to believe that I should accept staying stable where I am. Someday my body might decide to drop more, but that is another thing entirely. I am finding that the pilates is working to help tone and redistribute my mid-section and I am becoming more streamlined. I need to focus more on this than on the scale. Thank you people. [/QUOTE]
